The New Britain Eastside NRZ will be having it monthly meeting on June 5th at 6pm at the Stanley Memorial Fountain of Life Church at 639 East St. The featured speakers will be Bob DeCosmo and other representatives of the Connecticut Property Owners Association (CTPOA), who will be speak on the proposal to purchase and rehab properties in New Britain.

In a recent news article, CTPOA announced that its members are looking to purchase properties in New Britain and restore them. They feel that this will reduce blight and beautify the neighborhoods.

“We had a meeting in May right after they announced their ideas. A representative came to the meeting and gave a brief summary. We had so many questions that night that we reached out to invite them back in June so they could make a formal presentation.” said Tony Cane, NRZ Coordinator for the Eastside NRZ.

The Eastside NRZ is an organization that works to improve the quality of life in neighborhoods on the eastside of New Britain. All residents of those neighborhoods are invited to attend.
